Salem
Don't look now 'til it's all over, madness resides
In the hearts of a fractious people, their God decides
Building blocks in a foundation of greed of the wise
Spell bound by the tricks and treason, fooled by their disguise
Salem, why did you let your women drown?
Salem, don't let your babies drown
Salem, let the witches keep your souls for all time
The heat is on the bodies are burning, who started the fire?
Turn it up the crowds are yearning, man's strange desire
Fill the flock with takes of devils
and demons, watch the hysteria rise
Screaming "clean the streets of Indian
heathens" with a flood of blood and lies
Salem, why did you let your women drown?
Salem, don't let your babies drown
Salem, let the witches keep your souls for all time
Untie me, untie them,
untie yourself from the saga that seems to go on for all time
Can't cut through the ties that'll bind us together
For we are too scared of just being alone-
For the fight, oh cut me loose
For the fight, oh cut me loose
For the fight, oh cut me loose
For the fight, oh cut me loose
Salem, why did you let your women drown?
Salem, don't let your babies drown
Salem, let the witches keep your souls for all time
In the hearts of a fractious people, their God decides
Building blocks in a foundation of greed of the wise
Spell bound by the tricks and treason, fooled by their disguise
Salem, why did you let your women drown?
Salem, don't let your babies drown
Salem, let the witches keep your souls for all time
The heat is on the bodies are burning, who started the fire?
Turn it up the crowds are yearning, man's strange desire
Fill the flock with takes of devils
and demons, watch the hysteria rise
Screaming "clean the streets of Indian
heathens" with a flood of blood and lies
Salem, why did you let your women drown?
Salem, don't let your babies drown
Salem, let the witches keep your souls for all time
Untie me, untie them,
untie yourself from the saga that seems to go on for all time
Can't cut through the ties that'll bind us together
For we are too scared of just being alone-
For the fight, oh cut me loose
For the fight, oh cut me loose
For the fight, oh cut me loose
For the fight, oh cut me loose
Salem, why did you let your women drown?
Salem, don't let your babies drown
Salem, let the witches keep your souls for all time
